New pet! Trent that withers away unless you get him close to water. Awesome Blizz!

Comment by Beckitha

I have not been able to locate this npc, does anybody happen to know if he/she was moved?

*edit* I have located him just outside the inn, but I did not see him until I finished the first few quests in the area. It took me doing 33 quests in the zone for it to show up, so just do all of the first quests that take you all the way over to the Shatterspear Vale quest line, once that finishes you head back to town and turn in for your withers! :D

Comment by sedgr

Prereq to this would appear to be The last wave of survivors . You have to save the quest giver before he is able to give out the quest.

Comment by Shofie

I don't think it's just this quest; I did this, and he still wouldn't give me the quest to get Withers. As of this post, I have done about a dozen quests in the area, and he still refuses to give me this one. Not sure what I need to do to unlock it at this point, but it wasn't just this quest, alas.

Comment by sunsmoon

In order to get this quest, you must complete:Information located in parenthesis are notes about the quest, such as quests you can skip. Quests preceded by dashes are part of a direct chain started by the above quest.

Comment by Anaro

There is one specific quest you need, it appears. This is an item-based quest from Jor'kil the Soulripper found in the cave at the top of the Shatterspear Vale, who is the end target of Ending the Threat.

I missed this due to doing this quest at 80 and not bothering to loot the corpse. As soon as you turn it in you will see Cerellean Whiteclaw have the quest ! pop up.

edit: @sunsmoon: Can you double check this for me? ;)

Comment by sunsmoon

I'll be able to check it in a few, going to have to log onto a second alliance character and see if I can bypass the quests and kill only NPC that drops that. :)

Edit: Killing him without doing ANY of the previous quests does not give the item. Killing an Overseer without doing the previous quests does give you that item, which leads to rescuing the prisoners and finding out about Soulripper's strengths.

Double Edit: But that still does not let you loot the item off him.

Comment by Demonae

Confirmed, I did the same quests to get to the same point. Got my Withers :) Up to 105 pets.

Comment by whitehusky

Yes, you can skip "10b.) The Ancient's Ire."

Comment by flonne

I just finished this and I was able to skip the following:

----- Swift Response----- One Bitter Wish8c.) Timely Arrival

Comment by Xaleen

Sunsmoon, looks like all of the quests in point 5 need to be done before you carry on, none were skippable for me :(

4a.) A Love Eternal (SKIPPABLE?)4c.) The Final Flame of Bashal'Aran (SKIPPABLE?)4d.) Solace for the Highborne (SKIPPABLE?)

3c.) A Troubling Prescription (SKIPPABLE)3d.) Bearer of Good Fortune (SKIPPABLE)6b.) An Ocean Not So Deep (SKIPPABLE)7c.) Reason to Worry (SKIPPABLE)9c.) Looting of Althalaxx (SKIPPABLE)

Comment by suffragette

All the quests marked "skippable" or "skippable?" above can, in fact, be skipped. :)

Comment by Fayette60

Thanks for listing this questline. Very helpfull :)

Comment by cskittymom

the instructions by Sunsmoon were exact ! follow those and you will easily get your Wither pet

Comment by darkpanda

Theres horde version of this? or can horde do this quest, bcause i saw one mage with that pet, although he might have tranfered to horde.

Comment by Chooserbeggar

The horde just buy it for 30s.

Comment by Xhexania

have to agree.. went back to town and was like why cant i turn it in.. forgot to loot that one guy

Comment by Therulnig

Can confirm that the list posted by Sunsmoon (Minus the one's marked SKIPPABLE for obvious reasons) are the only quests that are needed to move the phasing along enough to get Withers.

That is 24 quests or about 1/3 of Darkshore quests, and only takes about 35 minutes for a level80 that can one shot all the mobs in the area.

Comment by Azurion0402

Well I've done all the quests needed, the drop quests as well ofc. I even have the achievement for completing 90 quests in Darkshore - but I still cant get the pet.

Just went to Jor'kil to double check - and I've done that one. Same with the drop from the overseer.

The dude that should give me the quest is there, but I cant talk to him. :( Any ideas on whats wrong / what I might have missed?

Comment by armandhammer

I can't even find the quest giver for 1a to start all this. Are some of these old quest that may have already been completed long ago?

Comment by Arkelion

Thanks a lot for your work on this !

Comment by Kirz

Best help yet, thanks for this.

Comment by Aylana

Moral of the story, complete every quest you can find... -.-

Comment by r8dj

Awesome....thx for the legwork all!

Comment by izzlemanizzl

A gold star indeed! Make it 4!

Comment by Smashinpal

Thank u for the great list of quest to follow! Finally got my little Whither! <3

Comment by Jestette

I just finished Shatterspear Laborers, and now I have War Supplies. But Sentinel Tysha Moonblade doesn't have the quest Denying Manpower for me :( I'm level 20, so I know it's not because i'm too low of a level. Is it bugged or something?

Comment by Coldkil

I have the same issue. I've completed every Darkshore quest available, still i cannot get the pet.

Double-checked prerequisistes, still nothing - i opened a ticket, if i have some good answers i'll post them.

Comment by Pwerhouse

Is there anyway for horde to get this companion or is is alliance only?

Comment by IAmKaotic

Just got my new companion :) Thanks all

Comment by hayley2568

What if you cant accept any of the quests?

Comment by skybladerun

I started this quest a few levels ago, but abandoned it. Now im trying to get my rep with darnassus up, but I can't get the quest again... plz help!

Comment by vlboyd

completed every quest in darkshore except ashes in ashevale...still cannot get the quest...any suggestions?

Comment by Grandheal

Just to let everyone know i have just got withers on my mage today and that he is still available through doing quests in dark shore but you get him with a weapon as well so if you go to sell the stuff be careful that you don't sell him too.

Comment by Grayy

So I noticed that there are a lot of Quest lists that show how to get to Disturbing Connections. They pretty much list all the quests in the zone. I don't want to do all the quests so, I'm going to clear up what unlocks what and what is needed to finish this chain.
